I would like to know aswell before making a purchase. I wonder how spring will work with the f sport suspension.

Yes coilovers are all together spring & shock. It doesn't effect the modes I'm told.

TRD has the full suspension kit as well. Modelista only springs.

So these are electronically adjustable, and are plug in play with the factory electronics and calibrated the same? If so I'm very impressed but I doubt that is the case. As much track time, money and effort as Lexus spent dialing in the suspension on the new GS and as integrated as all the systems are..????

These are coil overs. Shocks & Springs.

I assume your concern is switching from Eco - Normal - Sport?

No matter what you do to the suspension those functions stay the same.

So, I am assuming that these shocks has an electrical actuator on top that adjust when switching
for normal to Sport + and back to normal? I am interested if that is the case.

The official lexus information says that when you change modes the suspension changes:

ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION (AVS)
By monitoring the road surface, vehicle speed as well as your driving style, AVS automatically adjusts the shock absorbers' damping force for optimal comfort and stability—helping you to carve through corners with precision. Unlike conventional systems that treat each wheel independently, this system monitors and adjusts the shock settings at all four wheels simultaneously, helping to provide added comfort and additional roll damping.

Aftermarket suspension companies like RSR & TEIN Japan havent responded clearly to me on this question. They imply that nothing happens to the systems already in place.

I'm going to be the Guinea pig for u guys and test it out. The Super i is not out yet. waiting on that. The low down springs are ready for shipment right now though.

I would go springs only as it keeps the shock settings at stock but springs alone won't give you the perfect tuck & gap imo.

IF the AVS in 4GS is the same as AVS in 3GS, then you will lose AVS functionality if you install coilovers. people with 3GS lose their AVS when coilovers are installed.

^^ Here is what the AVS component looks like.

Which sits mounted on top of each shock / shock tower (in the front & rear).



Front...................................................... & .......................................................Rear

The consumer should really weigh the benefit or the coilover system if they have to loose the AVS functionality. I must say it did play a part in my choice to get the F-Sport.

Exclamation RS*R Luxury Best I coilover specs

I have been talking to RS*R. They said the coilovers for our car is part of the Luxury Best I line. Which they have instock in japan. Here are the specs. Coilovers are good for Daily and light track use

The Springs rates are
9.00kg (503lbs) front
8.30kg (464lbs) rear

Height range
-10 to -60mm (-0.4 to -2.4inch) drop Front
-15 to -60mm (-0.6 to 02.4in) drop Rear

Recommended height
-35 to -40mm (-1.4 to -1.6in) drop Front
-40 to -45mm (-1.6 to -1.8) drop Rear

36 way dampening adjustable

FSport models: Coilover will disable your sport++

I'm also in talks with JIC. They are planing to make coilovers for our car but they need some more R&D. I'm thinking of giving my car for their project.
